Compiling OpenWRT and Debian

first I wanted to compile Debian and run in chroot. It complained about 
floating point processor. So I wanted to compile OpenWRT with floating point proc included, but could not realize it. Here are steps I did. 


=============================================
Compile OpenWRT

mkdir OpenWrt/
cd OpenWrt/
svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/tags/backfire_10.03
make defconfig
make menuconfig
make



Or another try

http://wiki.freifunk.net/OpenWrt_Buildroot

apt-get install subversion build-essential binutils flex bison 
apt-get install autoconf gettext texinfo sharutils subversion 
apt-get install ncurses-dev zlib1g-dev rsync gawk unzip screen 
apt-get install mc rsync tcpdump net-tools tftpd wget

svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/
cd trunk or cd backfire

make menuconfig V=99
make V=99

cp feeds.conf.default feeds.conf

my attempts were not successful. 
For just a few MB of code, it took hours to download all sources and toolchains. 
And then compilation run and finally produced something with errors. Waste of time...




=============================================================================
Attempt to compile an install Debian. As OpenWRT is somewhat screwed up Linux.
For example in OpenWRT webcam resolution given by mjpg-streamer is 640x480, 
but I have HD webcam Logitech C510. And I know in Debian it works with HD resolution. 

To move ahead will tell that Debian Did not run, get an error  

I tried to build Debian on USB stick and then chroot but unsuccessfully
MIPSEL compilation said error in code, so it is not mipsel, probably.
MIPS compilation said, 
"FPU emulator disabled, make sure your toolchain was compiled with software
floating point support (soft-float)"

tried similar like in fritzbox
tune2fs -c0 -i0 /dev/sda2


mount -t proc proc /mnt/2gb/proc/
mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/2gb/dev
mount -t devpts devpts /mnt/2gb/dev/pts


chroot /mnt/2gb bash

mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1  /mnt/2gb 
chroot /mnt/2gb/

FPU emulator disabled, make sure your toolchainwas compiled with software floating point support (soft-float)



debootstrap --arch mips lenny /mnt/2gb/aaa http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
debootstrap --arch mipsel --foreign etch /space/debian-mipsel http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian

CHROOT=/opt/debootstrap
mkdir $CHROOT
mount /dev/sda3 $CHROOT


apt-get install debootstrap
debootstrap hardy $CHROOT
debootstrap --arch mips lenny $CHROOT
debootstrap --float-soft --arch mips --foreign lenny $CHROOT


chroot $CHROOT
cat /etc/lsb-release # we are in the new system
exit


sudo nano $CHROOT/etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade


apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic 
apt-get install linux-image-generic


apt-get install grub
mkdir /boot/grub
update-grub
nano /boot/grub/menu.lst



.................................
works on router
opkg install debootsrap

Unknown compression type for  in .//var/cache/apt/archives/libacl1_2.2.47-2_mips.deb

opkg install binutils
opkg -force-overwrite install binutils

I got stuck and abandoned idea to compile.
